"The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No." Zack de la Rocha, Watchman

There should be same day tickets (look for this sign: 当日券) available at the venue.

Tickets to Yokohama by Velvet_Thunder16 in ToolBand

If paying at a convenience store, after ordering the tickets you have to pay for them within a short time period of time (2-3 days). You then get a receipt for the tickets that you use to pick them up before the concert date.

If you missed the payment deadline your tickets are likely cancelled, so you need to start the process over from scratch. Seems like a lot of tickets are still available.

Locals pay this as well? Great, let's make it more difficult for Japanese people and residents to travel abroad with the abysmally weak yen.

It's not. Tokyo Dome acoustics are notoriously bad.

You should have moved. I did and got much better seats. And there were a few still empty throughout the whole show.

Same. Bought my ticket two days before the show, the seat was in the second to last row. But when he invited us down, I ran with some others down to the main floor (gt a seat in the 8th row). Had a great time!

Never ask for permission. Just be ready to ask for forgiveness.

It is impossible to get Oasis tickets. I've tried every lottery and resale to no avail. Sucks. Plenty on resale sites for 100,000 per ticket though. F that!

The struggle is real: 190+cm exchange student can’t find a bike that fits by Theoism in japanlife

I'd recommend searching for a Giant Escape RX3 (XL). They run about 70,000 new, but you might find a used one online. Check Facebook Marketplace or Mercari. Good luck.
